Hey there! Starting now, just before the New Year, I'm starting a list of nutrition tips to help you get off any excess calories you may have accumulated since the holiday season began.
TIP #1: Eat breakfast. Easy, right? Many people don’t. And it really is the most important meal of the day. It’s what gets your metabolism firing up (Go here for a quick definition of metabolism)
“What’s a good breakfast”? Here are some quick to prepare suggestions:
a. Plain Yogurt (Greek is highest in protein) and ½ cup mixed berries (frozen are fine)
b. Whole grain toast with 1 T peanut butter
c. Egg white omelet (2-3 oz) with 1-2 cups greens (kale, chard, spinach, etc.)
d. Hot multigrain cereal (or oats) with almonds and LF milk (or milk alternative – I personally am addicted to coconut milk! Not the canned stuff (too sweet) Be sure to check serving size. Ok to sweeten with no more than 1 teaspoon sugar, brown sugar, real syrup or honey. AVOID unnatural sweeteners! They average 100 times sweeter than table sugar.
e. AVOID bagels and most commercial cereals (too high in sugars and carbs)
f. Go here for more breakfast suggestions,
g. Lastly, drink! Water. Lots of it.
